US PULLS BOMBER JETS FROM RAF FAIRFORD AFTER TERROR PLOT:
The US has withdrawn all of its bomber jets from RAF Fairford after the base was the target of a suspected terror plot last weekend.
The Pentagon said all B-1 bombers deployed to the base, which US forces have used to strike Iran, have returned to the US.
Counter-terror police are investigating whether Iran was behind the plot. Five British nationals and a UK-Iranian national have been arrested on suspicion of suspected terrorism and explosive offences over the incident. All of those who were arrested have since been bailed.
A Pentagon official told The Telegraph: “While operational security precluded us from confirming the movement of our assets and forces in real-time, we can acknowledge now that all US bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have re-deployed to their home stations in the United States.”
US officials told the Wall Street Journal the decision was in response to security concerns over suspected terror plots against the facility.
Or to put it another way, “We are post ‘Special Relationship.’”
If this is true. We are seeing a massive USAF vote of no-confidence in the UK Labour government.
If the "Special Relationship" between the US & UK depends on which political parties are in power simultaniously.
We are post "Special Relationship." https://t.co/YuwJI7hVyE
